I'm barely literate in NFS, but I think you reversed the server and 
client paths. Try:
sudo mount 10.0.0.7:/var/lib/mythtv/videos /videos

With your syntax, you appear to be trying to mount the server's /videos 
directory. I'm not sure but presume the client's /videos needs to first 
exist as an empty directory as is usually the case when mounting.

This seems to agree with what I said above; looks like it's denying the 
mount attempt for /videos.
